Beiyang 1917

[Text] Chapter 190 Zhang Zuolin also voted for Zhong Yang

------------

On January 1918, 1, the Ministry of the Army ordered Zhang Zuolin, the governor of Fengtian, to be the general of Zhenwei, and he was transferred to the Beijing Nanyuan army as the chief of staff of the army, and he was removed from the post of governor of Fengtian!The whole country is in an uproar!

Zhang Zuolin, the governor of Fengtian, started with a beard in the northeast. Over the past ten years, he has become a prince with the No. 20th Division, the 28th Division, and a cavalry brigade. He has been in a very embarrassing situation since he was upset by Zhao Ti in Henan last year. In such a situation, even though Zhao Ti was sent abroad early in the morning, he did not hand over the bereaved dog to Zhong Yang because of his friend's loyalty.download building

In addition, he previously borrowed troops from Japan to deal with the Jilin Governor Meng Enyuan, and wanted to get the Jilin territory into his hands, but was reprimanded by the central yang, and Xu Shuzheng ordered the Fengtian Governor to withdraw to Fengtian and self-examine behind closed doors.

Wang Geng's model army for participating in the war has grown rapidly in less than a year, and behind it is the unremitting support of the United States. Even his Japanese friends behind him are pinching their tails and noses to help Wang Geng in the construction of the Beijing Sui Railway As a horse, Wu Peifu, Wang Chengbin, Cai Chengxun, Wang Tingzhen and even Cao Kun and Yan Xishan all switched to the first line of the participating army.

Zhang Zuolin knew that his Fengtian was located in a crucial place inside and outside the customs, how could he allow others to snore on the so-called side of the couch?Everyone knows that Zhong Yang will have to negotiate with him sooner or later, and the participating army will have a showdown with him sooner or later. Now that the Zhiwan University has joined forces, the participating army has even taken back Outer Mongolia and the Middle East Road!

The Prime Minister and his participating troops had such a high reputation at home and abroad that even Ri himself dared not say a word easily. He originally promised to build equipment for the artillery workshop of Fengtian Armory Factory, but it turned out to be nothing in the blink of an eye. It is a package of technology that Japan promised to transfer to the participating army the 75mm 150-type field gun, the [-]-type mountain gun and the [-]-caliber howitzer.

The equipment and molds in the gun workshop of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries were not enough, so the artillery equipment deal that Japan had privately discussed with the Fengtian Warlord was put on hold indefinitely. The original equipment had to satisfy Wang Geng first!

The situation is stronger than others. Zhang Zuolin wanted to get on the big ship of the participating army, but also wanted to keep his family property in the three-acre land in Fengtian. In the past two months, his heart was full of ups and downs. Those so-called confidants below There was a lot of chatter about bad ideas, and none of them worked. In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that without the support of Japan, it would be impossible for Fengtian to challenge Zhong Yang!

Zhang Zuolin's men are full of battles, and Calais only has two divisions and five brigades. Compared with Cao Kun's original five brigades of the Beiyang Army's third division, the combat effectiveness will only be weaker. Last year in Bazhou autumn Cao Kun took the first division The elite troops of the 2 brigades of the No. 16 Division and the Third Division were beaten to the ground by the four brigades of the participating army. One division of Wang Tingzhen could not resist a brigade of Shi Jingting of the participating army.

Without the support of Japan, this battle can never be fought, and it will be done without a name. Once the crime of confronting Zhong Yang is confirmed, it will not be easy to turn around. We still have to find a way to climb onto the big ship of Wang Geng's participating army !

Although Zhang Zuolin may not be convinced by Cao Kun, Wu Peifu and Wang Chengbin, who came from the third division, are better than those below him in terms of ability. Now Wu Peifu has appeared in the American Time Magazine and is praised as a professional soldier of the Republic of China who regained the lost land model!Nima, when will my old Zhang be able to enjoy himself like that?

Zhang Zuolin knew that this was an olive branch extended by Wang Geng. Everyone knew that the three positions in the participating army were promoted the fastest. The first was the head of the teaching regiment, the second was the chief of staff of the participating army, and the second was the No. The brigade commander of the first division, and this first division has always been the division commander of Wang Geng himself.

Now the position given by Wang Geng is the chief of staff. Obviously, the next step is either to stay in the position of chief of staff and lead the staff headquarters, or to be the division commander of the participating army and a provincial governor. At this moment, Jiang Hongyu and The two predecessors of Jiang Fangzhen were both warlords and division commanders!

Dry!There is no way out if you don't do it!Raising the flag to rebel is asking for a dead end!The air force of the participating army has more than 400 planes alone, and 40 troops armed to the teeth. There are ten provinces directly under the control of the participating army. When everything is taken back, whoever raises the flag to rebel is the traitor Wan Fu refers to, and there will be no good end!

On January 1918, 1, the former Fengtian Warlord Zhang Zuolin sent a telegram to Zhong Yang, accepting the latest appointment from the Ministry of Army, resigning from Fengtian Warlord, and Kri came to Beijing to take up his post!

On January 1918, 1, the Command of the Participating Army transferred Zhang Zuoxiang, commander of the 11th Division of the Army's Infantry Brigadier, as the head of the teaching regiment of the Participating Army, and transferred Li Jishen, Assistant Military Affairs Officer of Rehe, to lead the Sixth Division of the Participating Army into Fengtian, serving as the governor of Fengtian. The 27th and 27th divisions were reorganized, and nearly 28 old, weak, sick and disabled smokers were eliminated.

The remaining troops and the two supplementary brigades of the participating army who went north from Nanyuan were mixed to form the No.15 and No.16 divisions of the participating army. Zhang Shusheng, the commander of the third brigade of the first division of the participating army, was the commander of the fifteenth division. Lead the No.15 Division to return to Jehol, and concurrently served as Assistant Military Affairs Officer of Rehe. The position of the commander of the [-]rd Brigade of the First Division of the Participating Army was transferred to Jiang Dengxuan, the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Participating Army!

Jiang Dengxuan is also from Zhili. He grew up in a wealthy family. He was determined to serve the country in the army since he was a child. In 1908, he graduated from the Artillery Department of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy. Guo Songling, of course, in the previous life, these two people did not deal with each other, and later when the old Guo pulled the flag to rebel, he shot Jiang Dengxuan who went to persuade him, which left a stain.

After Jiang Dengxuan joined the army, he followed Zhu Qinglan, the former commander of the Fengtian Tour Battalion, followed him into Sichuan and out of Sichuan, and then followed Zhu Qinglan to Guangdong. After Zhu Qinglan resigned as the governor of Guangdong, he was recalled by Feng Guozhang to Beijing to serve as a consultant for the presidential palace. After Wang Tingzhen became the commander of the seventh division and went to Heilongjiang, Feng Guozhang put Jiang Dengxuan into the army, but he sent a general for Wang Geng!

Qiu Bin, commander of the 16th Brigade of the [-]nd Division and Jiang Hongyu, who was transferred to Baoding, was the commander of the No. [-] Division of the participating army.Tiao Han Linchun, the former commander of the fourth brigade of the second division, was in charge!Last year, Xu Shuzheng was sent from the Ministry of the Army to the teaching regiment of the participating army as the chief of staff of the regiment.

So far, there are a total of 48 reorganized divisions in the official establishment of the participating army and 48 mixed brigades, with about [-] people.Among them are three German mechanic, one Japanese mechanic, and twelve beauty mechanic!

The solution to the Fengtian issue was another solidarity between Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui after the alliance between Zhiwan and Anhui. This means that with the alliance between Zhiwan and Fengtian in the north, the participating troops completely controlled the eleven provinces in the north. To the south were Anhui, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Hubei, and Hunan are the buffer zones of the old direct line and Anhui lineage governors, and further south are local warlords who each protect the environment and the people.

Foreign wars have always been the best means to divert domestic conflicts. In less than a year, the participating troops have successively reorganized the first division, third division, fifth division, eighth division, and No.15 division of the former Beiyang Army. The No.16 Division, No.20 Seventh Division, No.20 Eighth Division, and the Shanxi Army First Division recruited nearly 1000 new recruits at a rate of 30 per day. While achieving great success, they are also facing huge challenges. challenge.

Nima, during this period of time, Wang Geng’s deep anxiety is known to all but his concubines. No matter how busy he is during the day, he will socialize. The life of the big family has been frowning these days.

What made Wang Geng anxious was the situation in Russia. In his previous life, when Wang Geng was a graduate student at the National Defense University, he did not study the Russian Civil War.Defending Kiev for a while, Tsaritsyn for a while, Petrograd and Moscow for a while, the nascent Soviet Russian regime was in jeopardy every time in the face of the attack of the White Guards.

But they can always turn the danger into a breeze, and start to counterattack in a blink of an eye, and the White Guards are defeated in a blink of an eye?

Wang Geng tried his best to build a modern army based on the recruitment system, but the defect of the recruitment system was also exposed, that is, when a country is facing an all-out war, the recruitment system is absolutely useless, even if the participating army has actually passed the direct Anhui Lianhe and Zhiwan Fenglian united the north under the banner of New Beiyang and the participating army, and united under the banner of the central government and Premier Duan!

However, the participating armies of the sixteen reorganized divisions in front of us belong to the internal force and may be able to achieve it, but they are still in an embarrassing situation of insufficient strength to defend the country and regain the lost territory in the Northeast!

In a traditional agricultural country like China, the inertia of the small-scale peasant economy made the process of modern industrialization always in a state of life. The Beiyang Westernization Movement laid the foundation for the first batch of heavy industries. Come to expand the army and buy arms to prepare for war and compete for territory.

The army of nearly 50 people who participated in the war had to pay 1000 million yuan a month. Once the war was fought, people would eat horse chews, plus transportation and ammunition consumption. In the future, the military expenditure would jump several times and ten times. This battle will be fought It's really not an ordinary light burden.

Time waits for no one, the growth of the participating army and the withdrawal of Outer Mongolia and the Middle East Road have made the entire Chinese ruling and opposition parties have great expectations for this government and the participating army. According to the declaration of the Soviet Russian government to China According to the subsequent statement of the Chinese government, the millions of square kilometers of land occupied by Lao Maozi in the north must be taken back?Now that there is civil strife in Soviet Russia, Marshal Zhang here has also voted for Zhong Yang, so what are you waiting for?Hurry up!

It's not that simple!
